HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT 'CACTUS JACK'?
 
It's only rock and roll. Well, rock and roll, all mixed up in a crusty cocktail shaker with a  dash of down home Southern US of A bar room blues belted out in a smoky room full of misfits and mayhem.
 
Sort of. Actually written and performed in The Shed in Pambula Beach NSW. But we wouldn't want that to put a damper on it.
 
See, some of us just love the sort of music pumped out by beat up bands that have been on the road forever, drifting around the deep South of the US, scratching to make enough to get to the next gig. Boys behaving badly, never really growing up. Drinkin’, popping pills, chasing women around dirty motel rooms. Dreaming of 'making it'. That's what they do. That's all they know how to do. Life is just getting up on stage and then filling in time before getting up on stage again.
 
Anyway..............gritty bar room blues PBGB style.
 
Start with a feel from the bass and drums. Add a grungy guitar riff and a few sassy sax licks. Throw in some harp highlights, and serve with suitably sounding lyrics. Stir that up for a while then turn on the recorder.
 
Voila !  Cactus Jack !
 
We had great fun cooking this up so hope it is to your taste.
